Our Services

Kids and Co.Lab provides OT services to a range of children from babies through to teens, including those with Spina Bifida, Cerebral Palsy, Developmental Delay, Genetic Conditions, Muscular Dystrophy, Sensory Processing difficulties, Coordination difficulties, Learning disabilities, and Intellectual Impairments. 

Our Occupational Therapists are experienced Assistive Technology Assessors for children with a range of disabilities. They are able to support you with advice, prescription and fitting of a range of aids and equipment, from smaller daily items like keyboards, adaptive cutlery and wobble cushions, right through to wheelchair mounting systems, mobile shower commodes, hoists, hi-lo electric beds, wheelchairs, strollers, disability carseats and beach buggies and much more. We can also assist with minor home modifications such as ramps and rails.

We do not have experience in supporting teens or adults with diagnosed Mental Health Conditions. If this is your primary concern, we suggest you seek a different service with specialist knowledge in this area. We work with a network of other providers and can support you to find another service which can better meet your needs.

We deliver assessment, interventions and home programs in the following areas:

Recreating therapy activities with our own kids because they are fun 🀩 This week we used magnetic tiles on the fridge & dishwasher to practice our fine motor skills in a challenging way! The fridge was a great way to (literally) raise the challenge for our older client, but also allow for seated practice on the floor when legs and core needed a rest. We added lots of language for our SP and were giggling so much we nearly fell over 🀣🀣🀣 #keyworkermodel #earlyintervention #transdisciplinary #occupationaltherapy #paediatrics #kidsandcolab #therapyathome #playallday #finemotor #grossmotor #therapy #parentinghack #magnetictiles #cerebralpalsy #premiturebaby ID: reel shows a toddler playing with colourful magnet tiles on a white dishwasher.

“When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower” 🌷 OT is a holistic discipline, and part of this is because we look at and can support a child within their natural environments, including making suggestions for a better “fit” between a child and the places they live, including home, education settings and community. #kidsandcolab #childrensot #ECEI #earlyintervention #naturalisticenvironment #mobileoccupationaltherapy

πŸŽ‰ Join us in welcoming our newest OT team member Emily Baxter! She has current availability for new clients, so if you know someone who is looking for a superstar OT, please share this post so they can get to know her. πŸŽ‰ Sunny coast born and bred, Emily has spent the last 3.5years in a Multidisciplinary clinic in Mackay. She has experience working with children of all ages and abilities, including those with complex physical disabilities, developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual disabilities. Emily's approach to occupational therapy is deeply rooted in the belief that every child is more than their disability. She views each child holistically, celebrating their unique personalities, skills, and characteristics. For Emily, the greatest reward is witnessing the joy on a child’s face when they achieve something new, no matter how big or small. Outside of her work, Emily loves traveling, camping, and exploring new places with her partner and their dog, Frankie. She enjoys Pilates, beach walks, and reading in her spare time. #kidsandcolab #paediatricoccupationaltherapy #sunshinecoast
